SHOPPING OUR STASH #389 - Make Your Mark

Hello and welcome back crafty friends!

I'm hosting the new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH,

and as the title suggests, we'd like you to color anything you want

using markers on your project!

Here's my card:

and the inside:

I think this is one of the first stamps I bought when I began scrapbooking

over 10 years ago. Glad I rediscovered it and colored it up with

my Spectrum Noir markers. This is pretty CAS for me. I just couldn't

leave the card base blank, so I sponged some gray ink through a stencil

to break up all that white space. ☺

Just a reminder, our challenges are running every two weeks now. Plenty

of time to color something using markers for a project and link

up at Shopping Our Stash!  I look forward to seeing what you create!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Hello peeps! I have a card to share with you all that I made using sketch #27, the last one (*sniff, sniff*) from Seize the Sketch. Lesley, the creator of the challenge blog, has decided to discontinue the blog. I haz a sad. But not to worry, she has her crafty irons in other fires, so to speak, so you will see her around the blogosphere. ☺  So, onto my card:

 the inside:

I decided to do the faux cracked glass technique on these images. I've done it only once before, and ironically, I used this same Frankie stamp to make it. I literally had just enough clear embossing powder to put 4 coats on each picture. (There's a shopping trip in my near future!)

 (Frankie and his bride are so stinkin' cute!)

(Ooh, shiny!)

For the star element on the sketch, I used a pompom spider sticker. I broke out the ol' Slice machine for the orange label, punched holes in each side, and strung baker's twine through them, taping the ends on the back side of the panel. Both 'picture frames' and the label are popped up using thin 3D foam squares. (They are half the thickness of the regular foam squares, and give just a hint of elevation off the top of the card. Love 'em!)

I hope you get the chance to play along with this last challenge. It's a great sketch!

Ok, that's all for now. Time to start my day, since I finished my tea. ☺ I hope you have a great day today, and thanks for stopping by!

Chris
